$1 ,100,000.
SPRING FREESTYLE SESSION:
With guidelines and capacities changing, the Recreation Department is looking to resume
more programming at the ice rink this spring; including a modified Freestyle skating
session. The Recreation Department has received emails from four parents looking to re-
instate this program as soon as possible. The Freestyle skating program is for
experienced skaters that come with their own coaches to practice their skills.
The Recreation Department is proposing to provide a Saturday morning session for nine
weeks, 10:00am — 11 :00am and a Tuesday evening session, 5:OOpm — 6:OOpm.
In order to cover the ice cost of $4,050 per session, fifteen skaters paying $270/session
would be required to break even.
After a brief discussion, the Commission would like to offer this program with the hope
that it builds itself back up. In order to help, the Commission is willing to subsidize this
program at a cost of$1 ,000/session for this year only. A minimum of eleven skaters will
be required for each session if it is to proceed. On a motion by Chairman Druker, all in
favor.
HOMMOCKS POOL 2021:
Ms. Jennifer Pollak, Aquatic Director presented to the Commission a few different options
to accommodate all user groups interested in accessing the pool for the summer pool
season:
• Swim Team, Camps and the Public
• Swim Team & the Public (no Camps)
• Camps & the Public (no Swim Team)
Last summer, the pool was open to residents with reduced capacity limits, reservation
requirements, and a pay per use fee of$5.00. There were no summer camps or a swim
team being offered.

HOMMOCKS POOL 2021 CONTINUED:
Ms. Vicky Laoutaris, Recreation Supervisor recommended to not have Hommocks Camp
use the pool this summer. She feels for the short amount of time the kids would have at
the pool, that the camp staff could actually provide better alternative program options.
Co-Op Camp is looking for space in the pool and would be interested in additional time if
other camps are not going to use it. The Village of Larchmont and the Village of
Mamaroneck have expressed that they are not planning on using the pool this summer,
due to many restrictions.
Ms. Pollak also suggested that the swim team start an hour earlier at 8.00 am if this helps
with the scheduling.
The Hommocks Pool fees and Resident/Non Resident policies will be reviewed and
presented for approved at the April Commission Meeting.
HOMMOCKS CAMP AND PRESCHOOL CAMP:
Ms. Vicky Laoutaris, Recreation Supervisor presented camp recommendations to the
Commission. Ms. Laoutaris has informed the Commission that this year due to the
restrictions placed on camp capacities, that the facility at the Monroe site can only
accommodate (40) campers. Therefore, Camp Monroe and Camp Rockingstone will
merge for this summer into one preschool aged camp to be held at Central School. The
camp hours will be extending by an additional hour and operate 9.15 am — 2.15 pm.
This year, Hommocks Camp will not be offering a Breakfast Club or Extended Day option
due to the COVID-19 protocols in place by the Health Department. Campers will be
placed in pods of (15) and campers will stay in that pod for the camp day. In order to try
and accommodate all those campers wishing to attend camp this summer, the
Hommocks Camp will offer (2) three-week camp sessions with a maximum of (250)
campers per session. By reducing our enrollment numbers we will be able to
accommodate all campers inside during inclement weather, and allow for the required
social distance spacing between pods.
Many other municipal camps are opting to hold camp outside with their normal enrollment
numbers but will cancel camp during inclement weather. However, since we have the ice
rink facility, we prefer to make the commitment to hold camp every day. We will be
prepared to make adjustments as needed, if restrictions ease up prior to camp.
The Recreation Department will also be offering additional sports and Snapology
programs for alternative options during the six weeks of camp.
